About this deal

I really wish the Hollywood Bowl experience could be more like the Greek. I know it's a size thing, but I completely dread going to the Bowl now, while I was super happy with my experience at Belle & Sebastian. A beautiful collaboration between Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch and illustrator Pamela Tait, a unique visual reinterpretation of Murdoch’s favourite songs. Stuart Murdoch had been using the name Belle and Sebastian since writing a short story of the same name in the summer of 1995. B&S founding member Stuart David talks about the story in his memoir In The All-Night Cafe: Rating: 4 out of 5 Great night but bad experience at the entrance by Ambrus on 6/7/22 Greek Theatre - Los Angeles

Stuart’s story was about an older boy teaching a younger girl who was still at school how to play guitar, and it reminded me of Momus' song ‘ The Guitar Lesson’. The story mainly involved the boy going to the girl’s house when she finished school, and then talking to her about other things while he was supposed to be teaching her guitar. Had an amazing time, both Tennis and Bell & Sebastian sounded fantastic. The Greek theatre was a perfect size venue for both those bands. I would go see both play again anywhere.Apart from his ventures as a lyricist, Murdoch also published the diaristic memoir The Celestial Café in 2010, wrote and directed the 2014 film God Help the Girl, and collaborated with illustrator Pamela Tait on last year’s Belle and Sebastian: Illustrated Lyrics. He’s also about two-thirds of the way through writing a new nonfiction manuscript, and tells me he enjoys the freedom in trying out new literary genres: “You can feel your way, and it’s actually more fun to be making it up as you go along,” he admits. In celebration of A Bit of Previous, Murdoch outlines the books that changed him, the books he keeps returning to, and the books that Belle & Sebastian obsess over together. A beautiful collaboration between Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch and illustrator Pamela Tait: a unique visual reinterpretation of Murdoch’s favourite Belle and Sebastian songs. Although the name “Belle and Sebastian” is originally taken from the French TV show Belle et Sébastien about a boy and his dog, this song relates the story of a boy and girl. Great show started right on time. Some of Stuart's jokes were recycled from previous shows, but i do the same thing. I did science at University in the mid-’80s. I loved the idea of science and I think I was maybe slightly misguided. I started to lose interest in all the actual work and I would be reading literature rather than doing my physics work. But when a book came along—something like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance or The Tao of Physics—that did it for me. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, that’s a touchstone volume, a famous book. Some of the younger [readers] may not have heard about it, but I would recommend that one to them.

Also, I really enjoyed the civilized nature of the Greek. Parking was easy and awesome, and the food was good. There were pleasant tables to eat at prior to the show and the lines were short. As we were going through the entrance, I was told I can't enter the premises with my Fuji x100v camera. I asked what difference they see between that and my iPhone camera that was right next to my Fuji in the tray. They said that the problem is that the Fuji is an interchangeable lens camera. I told them no, it isn't, it's a fixed lens camera; the iPhone on the other hand has three lenses in it. They said that may be the case but the Fuji is still a zoom camera. I said, no it's actually a fixed focal lens camera so it cannot zoom. The iPhone however can. At this point the person told me flat out: "sir, your equipment is not welcome at this event". This negative experience put an unnecessary damper on an otherwise great night. Your faith and practice in both Christianity and Buddhism are central to your life. What other books are significant to you?

Rating: 3 out of 5 Great musicians but terrible sound system at the Fox made by Aania on 6/6/22 Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland I've been to some new venues lately, like the YouTube theater, where the sound design was a complete disaster. I was pleasantly surprised that an outdoor venue like the Greek had great sound, not only for the headliner, but also for the opening acts.
